It is surprising she was not fired long ago. I suppose Timnit was usually rewarded for such an attitude, chock full of victim based language.

"after all the micro and macro aggressions and harassments I received" "does it just happen to people like me who are constantly dehumanized?" "Silencing marginalized voices like this is the opposite of the NAUWU principles which we discussed" "the next day I get some random “impact award.” Pure gaslighting" "Writing more documents and saying things over and over again will tire you out but no one will listen."

People with this ultimate victim attitude are absolutely toxic to employ and work with. I go out of my way to screen them out of hiring in technical roles.

For all its faults, Google bends over backwards (and sometimes forwards) to advance minorities' interests. It's just not plausible that they're doing the opposite in this one case.

Your forgot "gaslighting", towards the end.
